Mace Incident

Question 3: You are a Bahamian protesting outside parliament during the 1965 Mace Incident. Give an account of your experience during this event.

It was April 27, 1965 on Bay Street the main thoroughfare in Nassau. Thousands of us protesters and supporters were outside protesting that the government should listen to the voice of the people. The Parliamentarians could hear all of that what was being said from the crowd below. We were led by the late Sir Cecil Wallace. Everyone came in full support of Sir Lynden O. Pindling, who was inside of the House telling the House that the governing white merchant known as the Bay Street Boys would not listen to the voice of the people and reasoning with regard to the Boundaries Commission report for that year. After the House denied the motion formed by the PLP to have the constituencies redrawn under the United Nations, Lynden Pindling publicly declared that the Bay Street politicians as dictators. The distribution of seats in favor of the Family Islands was not acceptable to the PLP when the majority of the population lived in New Providence. Before Mr. Pindling went inside, it was said that he was scared to go in and do what he did, so much that he needed coaxing from Sir Milo Butler to go ahead with the plan. Inside we could hear Mr. Pindling accusing the ruling United Bahamian Party of dividing some areas into political units to give their group an unfair advantage. Mr. Pindling took the ceremonial mace and tossed it out of the window into the crowd of people below. "This is the symbol of authority, and authority on this island belongs to the people and the people are outside." said Pindling. It was an act of deviance in the pursuit of liberty and…...

Summary of critical incident
At the Residential Weekend I have noticed the critical incident, which was interesting to me. It has taken place after “Building bridges” task. Our group was giving feedbacks. The positive feedback from others about my contribution to the team impressed me, as most of the time I felt myself disengaged, not providing any tangible support for the task and disappointed as a result. The evidence for this was X‟s negative part of feedback: “Don‟t do actions, sometimes too observant”. However, most team members pointed out, that I was helpful and supportive by showing good listening skills and generating others‟ ideas. The facilitator‟s feedback highlighted my ability to „brighten up the room by good inner-spirit‟. It got me
thinking, that I really may be good at inspiring others. I start to understand myself and my preferable teamwork role better. It does not mean that I am useless for the team. I believe, I can participate in the group work in what follows. I can listen, advise and provide support. I should not think less of myself.
How does this reflect the findings of your chosen self analysis toolkit?
To evaluate this critical incident and support findings with theory, I filled in MCI (Management Charter Initiative) personal competence model questionnaire. This toolkit provides better self-understanding of work within diverse groups. According to results of this model, my „Acting...

Incident at Oglala
Incident at Oglala is a 1992 film is a good but also biased documentary which talks about the murder of two FBI agents at the pine ridge Indian Reservation in the year 1975. The film purports to show that one convicted suspect who was referred to as Peltier Leonard didn’t commit this crime. In the year 1975, the FBI agents Coler Jack and Williams Ron pursued a robbery suspect into the reservation. Within few minutes, there was a gunfight which was between the agents and American Indian activists whereby William and Coler were murdered. There was a massive manhunt which ensued.
One member of AIM Leonard was convicted and is now serving his sentence in Leavenworth prison. This film narrated by Redford Robert will convince most that Leonard is innocent of the murder. The movie however fails to point out that the suspects that the FBI were chasing for armed stopped their vehicle in an open field. Incident in INCIDENT AT OGLALA must be viewed not only with an open mind, but also with larger grain of salt.
This film according to me is a good film which tries to figure out and show its viewers on how some people in the society are victimized and convicted in the expense of their innocence. it also shows people on how to go about justice in a society and also helping people on how to tackle some issues.
Benefits
The film provides a specific social service in trying to prove both the unjust imprisonment of Leonard and make its......

...Phoenix Arizona and incident command system was established to organize our responses to a disaster large, small, natural or man-made ("Incident command system," ). This system was designed to help lessen the communication errors by establishing common terminology which identifies...who's in charge, what is needed and who is expected to follow up. Along with establishing a common terminology the ICS has established a common hierarchy, which will decrease management deficiencies because the composition of this team is usually diverse and covers many organizations. These members are usually volunteers and come in a number of field expertise.
The roles in ICS usually include a single incident commander who commands the response effort and is the final decision-making. The command staff which reports to the incident commander includes a Safety officer - monitors safety conditions and develop measures for assuring the safety of all personnel and persons affected.
Public information officer is the information source for all involved. This officer also serves as a liaison to the media. Answering questions, addressing rumors helping to keep the public aware of what is being done.

...I got my acceptance letter to ----, that meant that I would be officially moving to Miami in the fall of 2014, ironically the first thing my dad did when telling him the good news was to go out and buy me my own can of mace. I guess I had never considered the high crime rate before my acceptance, I decided to do some research concerning the matter. O Pish Posh! named Miami the 8th most dangerous city in the country, and also claimed that though the amount of crimes in Miami is low compared to the other cities that the article mentioned, the city more than makes up for it by having one of the highest crimes per square miles; Miami averages 500 crimes per square mile. The authors of the article ended the section on Miami stating “Miami has a large number of robberies, reporting about 494.4 robberies per 100,000 people. This is four times higher than the national average,” which leaves a bad impression on others. From the information above I guess I can understand why my dad bought me a can of mace, why my nana almost had a heart-attack from being so worried, and why I am never allowed to get gas anytime past 6:00pm without the companionship of at least one of my roommates.
During the time of collecting research, I realized that Miami’s crime rate and my personal experience from living in Miami for a little less than year now are on two completely different spectrums. Yes Miami is a big city, and yes Miami has crime… What city doesn’t? Although Miami appears to be extremely......

...this report I am going to analyse the importance of inter-agency emergency planning for major incidents
It is very important that public services work together and plan how to deal with major incidents, because it makes their job more efficient. They can get the job done quicker, because they know their roles and responsibilities, so not messing around, but doing their duties and run smoothly at the scene. Planning gives them opportunity to get more training so they will know their roles even better so it makes their job easier and safer as they will get some experience in some kind of situations. They will have knowledge how it could look in real major incident, so they would not get stressed so much if they are newly employed. Also it saves some money when dealing with major incidents as they will be better in their roles, because of training through planning. Another benefit is that because of planning, they would know what equipment they are responsible for and they will bring it to the scene so when it will be needed, they will have it. The first responding agency is always Police and they are responsible for sending other agencies to the scene, protecting the scene – setting cordons around. Inner cordon - operational command – officers that deals with the incident at the scene. Outer cordon - tactical command - creates tactics for operational command how to deal with the incident.
Lack of organisations means that they would not be sure what their roles are, they......

Critical Incident: Late Cardizem Drip
The incident I will be writing this paper about actually just happened at my new job. I received my nursing degree last March and started working in LTC last summer. After 6 months experience, I was lucky enough to get hired as a new nurse on a telemetry/ step down ICU floor. I started this position on January 5, 2015 and will be finishing my one to one orientation next week. As the weeks have passed and my patient load has picked up, I have been able to work more and more independently while my preceptor attends to other patients or matters. If all I had to do was assess, pass medications and chart, I would be fine but as we all know, critical thinking has to prevail and careful watch has to be of utmost importance for such sick patients.
On the night of the near critical incident, I was taking care of 6 patients. It was the very beginning of the shift and I was getting report as my preceptor was attending to a patient that was crashing fast. She told me to just continue with report and start my night and she would fill me in later as this patient had to be sent to the ICU. I finished getting report on my 5 patients and was sitting down to organize my night when my preceptor came over to me and asked what I was told in report. When I got to the new admit that had just come to the floor......

...Autobiographical Incident
Have you ever felt so alone? Feeling nostalgic like you’re in a deep isolation and despair? Feeling like no one can be there for you when you feel the earth is against you? I did.
Ever since my parents separated, my whole world changed and I can never do anything to bring back those precious moments. I was only eight years old back then. If you could only imagine how an eight year old girl desperately cry in a corner without anyone being there for her. A young girl yearning for a parent’s presence and desperate for playful moments with her siblings. Well I cannot bring back those times because you can never bring back time.
My childhood memories were indeed the best memories I will ever treasure. Those blissful moments when we go out on a Sunday as our family day to attend the mass and after mass, my father would treat us to our favorite fast food chain where we play and take pictures. Every time I reminisce those moments, I remember a girl, so happy and jolly, thinking only how happy her family is, without thinking any problem because her parents never let her see how bad their relationship is going through.
Until I found myself having a long night trip to Nueva Vizcaya with my mother and my youngest brother. I didn’t know what was happening back then. All I know is I am thousand miles away from my father and my siblings. I tried to ask my mother but she chose to tell me nothing until I discovered that we will live in Nueva Vizcaya and I will......

...Boston Children’s Hospital – Possible “Anonymous” Attack
Cyber Incident
On April 24, 2014, the Boston Children’s Hospital reported they had been under a cyberattack from an unknown source for the previous four days. This paper will focus on the details of the cyber security incident, the impact of the attack, the consequences, and a brief explanation of the mitigation steps the hospital has taken post incident.
The Boston Children’s Hospital was a victim of a cyberattack between the dates of April 20 and April 25, 2014. The cyberattack on the hospital focused on bringing down the hospital’s internal website – used by hospital personnel to check appointments, test results, and other patient information (Wen, 2014). The hackers used a distributed denial of service approach attack, which consisted of a bombardment of traffic to the hospitals web page, causing it to crash and become unusable to all hospital staff. The hospital has insisted that no patient data or information has been compromised due to these cyberattacks (Farrell, 2014). Law enforcement was notified of the attacks, but it is unconfirmed whether investigations were started.
It is suspected the attackers were a part of the well-known hacker network “Anonymous”. Even though no evidence exists to prove this group is behind the attack on the Children’s Hospital, the incident has all the markings of a typical Anonymous cyberattack. The group typically targets Internet pages of large organizations and......

From: Lexington Square Tenants

On Sunday February 5th, 2012 while I, Dwayne Wilson a tenant here at Lexington Square #238 was outside playing catch football in the parking lot with my son, my neighbor named David came outside his apt and stood on the ledge at the top of the stairwell, I asked David not to start nothing and he replied, “Fuck You”. I asked David to calm down and he became even more belligerent towards me while me son observed. This in turn frustrated me and then the exchange of words began.
Eventually, David went inside his apt and came back out ranting and raving, and more words were exchanged, David then threw a 24in two-prong fork at me, and charged down the stairs in a combative manner. I didn’t hesitate to prepare for a confrontation, but I warned him that I wasn’t going to allow him to bully me as he had been doing all the other tenants in this vicinity. David in turn eventually called the Police, and I waited for them to arrive.
When the Police arrived, they took our statements and no charges were pressed against either of us. I went to the Police Dept to retrieve a incident report, but was told that since I’m not the person who placed the call, I couldn’t access the report, but was informed that mgmt could. I informed mgmt of my and other tenants in this area incidents involving David, and We are requesting that David be evicted from the property.

...Certain incidents so impress us that they leave an indelible mark on our memory. I was once involved in an incident of which I shall always have vivid recollections.
The incident occurred when I visited a village in India together with my parents, sometime during my holidays last year.
Early in the morning on the day the incident occurred, I was talking with a few of my new friends in that village. All of a sudden, a boy of my age came rushing towards us to break the news that violence had broken out in the neighborhood. Alarmed at this news, we began to protect ourselves, and before long the violence spread like wild fire throughout our area.
I was a little confused at first for I had no idea about the cause of the outbreak of violence there. One of my friends told me that the area had been notorious for such occurrence owing to rivalry between two parties. Each party tried to destroy the influence of the other in that area, and the bad blood that existed between them had caused several deaths and great misery to innocent people for a long time. Official influence could not be exercised effectively in this area owing to its remoteness from the centers of authority. The members of the rival parties therefore enjoyed almost complete freedom of action. The police arrived only when there was news of violence, and often long after the damage has been done.
While I was listening to this account of facts and events, the situation suddenly took an ugly turn. A man who had been......
